    The David and Barbara Pryor Center for Arkansas Oral and Visual History University of Arkansas 1 East Center Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-6829 Arkansas Memories Project Ray Thornton Interviewed by Scott Lunsford September 20, 2011 Little Rock, Arkansas Copyright 2014 Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas. All rights reserved. Objective Oral history is a collection of an individual's memories and opinions. As such, it is subject to the innate fallibility of memory and is susceptible to inaccuracy. All researchers using these interviews should be aware of this reality and are encouraged to seek corroborating documentation when using any oral history interview. The Pryor Center's objective is to collect audio and video recordings of interviews along with scanned images of family photographs and documents. These donated materials are carefully preserved, catalogued, and deposited in the Special Collections Department, University of Arkansas Libraries, Fayetteville. The transcripts, audio files, video highlight clips, and photographs are made available on the Pryor Center website at http://pryorcenter.uark.edu. The Pryor Center recommends that researchers utilize the audio recordings and highlight clips, in addition to the transcripts, to enhance their connection with the interviewee. Transcript Methodology The Pryor Center recognizes that we cannot reproduce the spoken word in a written document; however, we strive to produce a transcript that represents the characteristics and unique qualities of the interviewee's speech pattern, style of speech, regional dialect, and personality. For the first twenty minutes of the interview, we attempt to transcribe verbatim all words and utterances that are spoken, such as uhs and ahs, false starts, and repetitions.

CONSTITUTIONAL LAW - LIMITED CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION - VALIDITY OF STATUTE ESTABLISHING. - Act 16 of 1975 providing for the calling of a limited constitutional convention, not ratified by the electorate, held invalid where delegates would be exercising power inherent in the people as reserved by Art. 2, § 1 of the Arkansas Constitution, and the limitation placed upon the exercise of that power by the General Assembly, without ratification thereof by the electorate is prohibited by Art. 2, § 29. 2.

  • HISTORY of the RNCIC Written in the Fall of 1997 by Members of the RNCIC Board of Directors
    HISTORY OF THE RNCIC Written in the Fall of 1997 by members of the RNCIC Board Of Directors. National cemeteries were established by an act of Congress on February 22, 1867 at the urging of President Lincoln. There were three designated in Arkansas: Fayetteville, Fort Smith and Little Rock. Fayetteville’s is the eighth oldest in the United States. During the Civil War the dead were buried on the battlefield. In northwest Arkansas this brings to mind Pea Ridge, Prairie Grove, Rheas Mill, Cane Hill and other skirmishes the area sustained. The first burials in Fayetteville were on land just south of town, owned by J. K. Stone, a public- spirited man who gave permission to use this property in 1862. Over the next five years, many reinterments were done from known battlefields. It is believed this action caused the Federal Government to select the site in 1867. As to the actual 6.07 acres for the original site, Judge David Walker also gave several pieces of land to the cemetery to help increase its size, but the deeds of transfer were in error and were finally straightened out in 1947 to give Walker’s heirs due credit. Originally laid out for 1700 graves, design changes made possible 3,688 more spaces, but no more land was added to the original six acres on Government Avenue. By 1984 it became obvious that more room was needed as veterans from World Wars I and II, Korean veterans, VietNam and Gulf War survivors moved into adjacent four-state areas.

Averill, Jr.* I. INTRODUCTION The Law School at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock has both a short and a long history. In its current status, it is but ten years old. As a part of the University system for twenty years, it has barely passed adolescence. But as an institution of legal education, it can trace with pride its roots back to the previous century as the successor to the Arkansas Law School. Under all these circumstances, the Law School has served its constituency well. It is appropriate that a short history of this legal institution be written.1 Legal education as an intellectual and academic endeavor is not very old in this country.
